ShanghaiTech University is looking for talented researchers to join the faculty of the new Institute of Mathematical Sciences


About the Institute of Mathematical Sciences

Opening in fall 2018, the Institute of Mathematical Sciences aspires to be a leading research center for mathematics. The Institute will provide an ideal environment for world-class researchers, enabling them to cultivate a new generation of creative talents in all areas of mathematics. Faculty members will be supported by excellent opportunities to hire postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students. The Institute will regularly host international research conferences and longer research programs and host many visiting professors, both for short-term and for long-term. Alongside its research activities, the Institute will also offer active undergraduate and graduate programs for talented students.

About ShanghaiTech University

ShanghaiTech University is an international research university with academic excellence, focused on science and technology. It was founded in 2013, as a joint venture between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Municipal Government. It consists of five schools and three research institutes, including the Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

 

ShanghaiTech faculty currently includes five Nobel laureates, eleven members of the US National Academy of Sciences, eight fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, three fellows of the Royal Society (UK), thirty- two members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and three members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
